Help Needed To Prevent Mandatory E-Bike Insurance

BRUSSELS, Belgium – Yesterday, the European Cyclists Federation (ECF) issued an emergency call to all stakeholders as a mandatory insurance on all e-bike types still looms. The ECF call says “Despite the hard work of ECF and its partners in the bicycle industry to make sure that they are excluded from the EU Motor Insurance Directive, the European Commission's proposal includes this obligation. This has the potential to inflict substantial damage on the development of the European e-bike market.“
